As for how criticism of Keats' poetry relates to criticism of my own work, I'll leave that for others to decide.

I had a daughter who was 9 years old and I had the feeling I wasn't going to be a real parent if I didn't quit making movies for a while and spend time with her. I also felt that I'd made enough movies and said what I had to say at the time.

I think that three-act fundamentalism in film culture is a problem sometimes, because it's almost too obvious, or it's too expected. And it's not the only way to fill two hours, or to phrase things, or to order thoughts, or order ideas.

I think if it's interesting, it's interesting, and if it's not, it's not working.

So many actors are not open in front of the camera - they have a persona.

I'm a much better filmmaker than painter. But studying it did make me visually acute and taught me lessons like being economic: Say something once and you don't have to say it again.

If you read Keats's poems, they're often full of doubts and anxieties. They can be quite tough.
